Dressed solely in black, Sydney and Vaughn snuck through the building. Their footsteps were light as they attempted to be as silent as humanly possible. They found the vault they were looking for, and together they timed their entrance. Once inside, they found the computer that they were to add a leak into. "Sydney, how mad are you at me?"
"Shh…"
"We need to talk sometime."
"You think that confronting me as I place this, will get me to talk?"
"Sometime we need to talk."
"I never want to talk to you. Every time I walk away from you it is hard to breathe- hand me the screwdriver." Sydney said. Vaughn handed her the small screwdriver. "But when I am with you, I am so overcome with anger because you betrayed me like that."
"I was drunk."
"I know." Sydney closed the case, and started to run off.
"I didn't know what I was doing."
"You knew it was Alice." They turned the corner, only to be warmly welcomed by two large guards.
"Hey!" One stupidly called. Sydney began to wildly throw kicks at them, as they shot bullets down the deserted hallway.
In retaliation, Vaughn began to fire his gun wildly at the guards, but failing to hit either one of them. "Sydney, I'm out of bullets!" He harshly whispered.
Frustrated, Sydney kicked one guard into the wall, and pinned him there with her foot. She threw a punch at the second, and it grazed his cheek. She tried again, punching his other cheek. He stumbled backwards, leaving a small window for someone to escape. "Go Vaughn!" Sydney called. Vaughn paused only a minute to watch Sydney as she knocked out one of the guards. He then ran out the back door, and straight to the rendezvous point. Sydney came out of the building limping slightly.
Vaughn saw this, and raced over. He put his shoulder underneath Sydney's arm to help her make her way faster to the rendezvous point. But Sydney shoved him off, and made her way slowly to the waiting chopper. "Are you ok Sydney?" Vaughn checked, as the helicopter took off. Sydney only stared straight ahead. She gave a slight nod, just to answer his question. "You probably saved my life back there."
Sydney stared out the window. "Well, someone had to." Came her simple reply.
